I certainly wouldn't sell Lamela so I agree Lucas should be considered for the exitAdd Lucas to the for sale list.

I thought tanguy played well i would of rather winks went off for lo celso.
Think a lot of fans didnt like my opinion lol. I like winks but i felt ndombele played better in this match and deserved to stay on a little longer. He was the only player in the first halve who looked like creating anything. Luckily lo celso made a huge difference all round when he came on.I agree and am quitely hoping that JM sees this as well.
On Thursday, TN only played 30 mins, while GLC played the full 90, so it made sense that Tanguy started as he was the fresher of the 2. However, going by Jose's comments earlier, he is clearly not fit to play both halves so the substitution was not a matter of if but when.
That said, we simply cannot play Hojbjerg with either Winks or Sissoko. Besides Hojbjerg, neither of the other 2 are progressive with the ball and invite pressure. We know that PEH is the only proper DM we have, but he's not great on the ball, rather off it. So he needs to have 2 other midfielders that do the job of carrying the ball forward. Having only one of GLC or TN puts a lot of pressure on them and makes it easy for other teams to target them collectively.
Personally I'd be happy if we sold Sissoko and replaced him another midfielder in the mold of Wijnaldum that gives us a physical alternative to him. Can't see us selling Winks as he fills a valuable HG spot.
Tanguy is not fit enough to play 90mins yet.I thought tanguy played well i would of rather winks went off for lo celso.
With all due respect, but no. I want Ndom out of the club and he shouldn't even be in the match day squad with his application to his talent. More than a year at the club and we're still speaking about him just needing to return to fitness or this and that. The excuses are plenty. Everyone can see that he has an eye for a pass but he is currently way more of a liability than anything with his nonchalant passing and complete lack of movement off the ball and pressing.
For me one of, if not the most important trait, to have as a professional athlete is a good mentality and Ndombele obviously doesn't have it just like Adebayor, Taarabt or Quaresma for example. Plenty of talent but lacking the mentality and the personality to make the most out of it.

They weren't catastrophic tactics. It is how they play every game and normally with good success, we just exploited it so well in the second half. But, we need to play more like that, in the second half we were quicker on the ball, we were looking for options, not just trying to play long balls into space hoping that someone will connect to them. Our players can play, even our defensive ones, Jose needs to give them that opportunity.
If All or Nothing is anything to go by I bet it included “f*****g hell”Amazing what real in your face challenging can do. The second half reminded me of Poch’s team at it’s best. Constant challenging the opposition player with the ball and swift counter attacks. Wonder why we didn’t do it first half and what Jose said to them at half-time that changed things around ?

If it wasn't for Ndombele that first goal doesn't happen..
I remember some posters calling other hipsters for not wanting us to buy Shane Long.Come on, lads- quick sweepstake. How many times will Shane Long be caught offside and then berate the linesman for his own shitness?
If we get N’Dombelle fitter and then swap Winks for GLC (Winks is just ineffectual in my view, lucky to be here) and then upgrade Dier with the two new signings we SHOULD be hopeful of a good season, but I’m not getting carried away by this.
